October is Principal Appreciation Month, a time to honor and celebrate the leaders who make a difference in our schools every day. We’re celebrating CICS Bucktown Principal Kory Kliebert’s student-centered, family-oriented educational philosophy this Principal Appreciation Month! Mr. Kliebert’s emphasis on empowering learners through active exploration is one of the reasons CICS Bucktown has created a flourishing environment where students grow through challenges.
Mr. Kliebert believes that students should be active participants in their education with teachers acting as facilitators. His goal is to create an environment that supports active exploration and discovery, which fosters critical thinking and a lifelong passion for learning. He believes this approach helps students take charge of their learning journeys, preparing them for future challenges.
Mr. Kliebert is excited about the future of CICS Bucktown; his vision combines strong academic growth with increased student voice in school culture, to ensure that CICS Bucktown becomes one of the top schools in Chicago. As a leader, Mr. Kliebert holds his staff to high expectations while ensuring that students receive the support they need to reach their full potential. He is committed to facing the challenges of education head-on, learning from failures to foster continuous improvement.
Above all, Mr. Kliebert is driven by his daily interactions with students, whose smiles remind him of the rewards of his work. Thank you, Principal Kliebert, for your tireless efforts toward a strong student-centered learning community!
